I want to rename the user name I entered when i first got my laptop

Hi,

Is that your local account or your Microsoft account?

If the user folder is the same as your Microsoft account, I'm afraid you won't be able to change that user folder's name. But if it's your local account, you can change it by following these steps:

• Type user accounts on the search box.
  
• Click on User Accounts.
• Click on “Change your account name”
• If it’s prompting for password please enter and click on Yes. If you do not have password click on Yes.
• Enter the new user name.
• Click on change name.

I suggest you read through this
thread as well and check out what Annu Singh posted to the community for another workaround to fix this issue.

Naming New Folders

Hi there,

recently each time when I create a "New Folder" I need to enter the folder name in at least twice!! Really strange as I generate a new folder in my drive folder by using the icon "New Folder) and the field is blank (bar new folder) and then as soon as I
try to type in anything it changes name to "New Folder"

Any suggestion why this may be please as frustrating as if I am not looking all I hear a re all the dings going off !!

cheers,

Barry
